This company charge extortionate rates and provide incompetent people. They sent a letter to the company they were acting against on our behalf but titled the letter subject stating they acted for them and not us! Kinda a school boy error. Also after the solicitor was changed the new solicitor that was appointed to the case was supposed to of reviewed the file, however upon her calling me she started asking if they were financially stable for the money we were claiming off of them however we were the claimee not the claimer. Seriously stay well clear. Loads of money for absolutely no gain and we were faced with having to go and appoint another solicitor.
